Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Sipho Chaine has named three glovemen who inspired his career.
“I always say this about my favourite goalkeeper, it’s something that I’ve heard since I was young, even in my football,” Chaine told
“When I watched them, like u-Itu, it’s something that you can’t describe as a young boy, looking at them and doing it at that high level. And you even aspire to be there but don’t think about what it would take and how you would react when you are there.”Orlando Pirates won the CAF Champions League in 1995, while losing in the final in 2013. According to Orlando Pirates’ 27-year-old gloveman Chaine, the Sea Robbers should reclaim the respect the club has on the African continent.
“It’s an honour to wear this number. To have the number 10 jersey is not only a childhood dream of mine but also a sense of responsibility and undertaking of the expectations that it carries,” the Orlando Pirates attacker told the club’s media. “Everywhere I went, people used to call me ‘Figo’, ‘Figo’, and as a kid that sort of attention brought a smile to my face. I guess that fond memory is what cemented my relationship with that number 10 jersey,” the 26-year-old star from Tembisa concluded.
